Queen Sofia’s Emerald Parure

Queen Sofia of Spain is celebrating her 80th Birthday this week, and to mark her milestone birthday, we are taking a look at 8 pieces from the jewellery collection of the Greek Princess who became the first consort of the restored monarchy of modern Spain, featuring her Emerald Parure.

While she has continued to wear pieces of the Parure, Queen Sofia has also frequently loaned the Emerald and Diamond Parure to her daughter-in-law, Queen Letizia, who usually prefers to wear just the earrings in recent years. There is no doubt it will continue to be worn for years to come.
